Hideaway by Penelope Douglas (Paperback)

The legend of an abandoned hotel known as The Pope has haunted the city for years. Hidden within its walls is a mystery that refuses to fade, centred on a rumoured twelfth floor and the story of a guest who never checked out. Many believe the tales surrounding the building are only rumours, but for some, the secrets tied to the hotel run far deeper.

Banks knows the stories well. She understands the reputation of The Pope and the fear it creates, yet she also knows there is far more to it than the rumours people whisper about. While others believe they understand her, Banks keeps the truth carefully hidden, guarding a secret that no one else can uncover.

Kai and his friends think they know the games that are played during Devil’s Night. They believe they can control the fear and manipulate the stories that surround the city’s darker corners. But Banks knows something they don’t, and the truth sits much closer to them than they realise.

After spending three years in prison, Kai has returned determined to reclaim what he believes is his. The abandoned hotel, the mystery inside it, and the life he once had all call him back. Yet the time he spent away has changed him, and the person he has become is very different from the man he once was.

As Devil’s Night approaches once again, old legends, hidden truths, and long-buried secrets begin to surface. The games that once seemed familiar are about to change, and this time the hunter may find himself becoming the one who is being watched.
